Take offence all you want; it won't make your argument any better.

I do not call you absurd or bombastic -- that would be an unwarranted personal attack. I call your argument absurd and bombastic (I am attacking your argument, not you).

Calling you superstitious is quite another matter; this is a consequence of your choice of argument.

I hope we can agree to disagree.
A meaningless statement. How could we not? Can I disagree to disagree? Can I demur to agree to disagree?

But yes, in the sense of "I'll stop criticising you and shut up", we can agree to disagree.
